Also the stupid rocks, which are only in the way, especially in one of the most crowded thoroughfares in the Park.<br /><br />Hopefully after SWL and when they finish destroying the Jungle Cruise, this area will be back up for an update. Hard to see how they could hurt it now.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-83897983401952550362017-11-25T10:56:41.235-08:002017-11-25T10:56:41.235-08:00Yep...back then 'There's a great big beaut...Yep...back then 'There's a great big beautiful tomorrow" in the air. Motion, excitement with the recent moon landings, clean and fresh colors. Everything seemed possible. It was the best version of the Land.

I loved how the Bell System and GE logos were high up in the sky, how everything was so bright and clean and full of bold promises of great things to come. <br /><br />That first shot looks awesome - the world on the move in the background, and in the foreground, all these people heading in to the heart of it. This really was the height of Tomorrowland.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14726949166373732451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-21984041498691144212017-11-24T08:48:04.015-08:002017-11-24T08:48:04.015-08:00How nice of your friend to give you all these phot...How nice of your friend to give you all these photos and negatives. We do it because we know you love this stuff and you will take care of the photos. Plus you then share them with people who appreciate them! I have discovered that when you share my brother's photos. People see the most interesting things in them, things I did not see when looking at them. Regarding these two today. That first shot is such a winner as is Tomorrowland in 1969! That entrance! I also do not understand how they thought clogging up the entrance was a good thing. There is a World's Fair vib to the whole thing. I loved it then and the memory of it now.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286032807894115704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-1437053018661160522017-11-24T02:15:01.762-08:002017-11-24T02:15:01.762-08:00If Disney is still afraid of attempting a "fu...If Disney is still afraid of attempting a "futuristic" Tomorrowland and they still want a "retro" one like they attempted to do in '98, then maybe they should just recreate THIS version of Tomorrowland and call it a day. It would save them quite a bit on the design and planning and as we all know, they like to save a buck.<br /><br />Wonderful pics today.

I always loved how those palm trees framed the entrance too. What where the Imagineers thinking when placing the Astro Orbitor at the front and creating those turd rocks. Why oh why did they ruin it? In these photos, the "land" still looks futuristic to me.<br /><br />Thanks, Mr. X and Major.K.

The second one is Disney's version of the Four Level Interchange - or maybe 'five'. Now, how can you argue with that-?<br /><br />Thanks, Major.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.com
